What is a digital twin? It’s a virtual replica/representation (generally 3d-model) of physical devices, process, system, or service. It could be buildings, factories, and even cities.
Digital Twin Example:
- Compressors
- Turbines
- Data Center
- Heat exchangers
- Water usage
- Blowdown systems
- Gas lift systems
Before the introduction of this concept, manufacturing companies used to create virtual models using CAD tools followed by converting this virtual model into an actual physical object. Then, they just discard or archive the virtual object. With the digital twin concept, that virtual model is no longer discarded, rather, it is connected to the physical object so that we can collect real-time data sourced from those smart sensors through physical objects. Data about object status, working condition, or position being integrated with a physical item, etc. All this data is sent back to the digital twin and their interaction can help optimize the product’s performance.
For instance, sensors might detect when a car’s engine oil needs changing and the car’s digital twin will have an overlay image indicating the new information, which can appear on the owner’s device or the manufacturer’s system. Therefore, using this real-time data enables us to understand, learn, reason, and real-time optimization.
Digital Twin Benefits:
- Proactive optimization
- Monitor real-time data
- Increase production
- Avoid downtime
- Increase efficiencies
- Take informed action
- Reduce costs
- Optimize maintenance schedules/start-ups
So how Hightopo came in to help you with the digital transformation?
- We design the 3d model for your property
